Spotlight on Our Summer Intern: Mariangel García Carvajal

Over the summer, the Neuranics team had the pleasure of working with Mariangel García Carvajal, who joined us as a Biosignal Intern. Mariangel quickly became a valued part of the team, bringing thoughtful questions, strong technical curiosity, and a clear passion for learning about our technology.

Mariangel is currently studying Biomedical Engineering at the University of Glasgow. Alongside her studies, she has taken on multiple leadership roles within the Glasgow University Biomedical Engineering Society (GUBMES), where she now serves as President. Previous roles in the society included Head of Medical Imaging, Outreach Convenor, Second Year Representative, and First Year Representative, all of which highlight her dedication to building connections between students, alumni, and the wider engineering community.

During her internship at Neuranics, Mariangel contributed to a range of development activities across the company. Her work involved experiments with Neuranics’ latest sensors and testing in magnetically shielded rooms, as well as exploring biosignal data capture using our magnetic sensing solutions. She also supported collaborative testing and validation projects, contributing to both the practical and technical side of our development work.

Reflecting on her time at Neuranics, Mariangel shared:

“Working at Neuranics over the past three months has been the most rewarding and enriching experience of my career so far. I’ve learned so much from the most talented team; whether it was working with the sensors or running experiments in magnetically shielded rooms, the biggest takeaway for me has been that there’s always more to learn. As my first experience in industry and in the world of biosensors, I arrived with limited knowledge, but asking questions and following my curiosity helped me grow in confidence, deepen my understanding, and feel truly connected to both the work and the people. I finish my internship this year at Neuranics with a fresh perspective on the biosensing world and true motivation to keep learning and contributing to this field in my future.”

A Highlight from Mariangel’s Internship

Mariangel’s favourite moment came during an MMG experiment:

“One of my most memorable moments was a particular MMG experiment in the shielded room with Negin, where we captured some fantastic signals, all while she enthusiastically cheered on my bicep contractions. The data was great, but the team spirit made it even better! Moments like that, along with the everyday camaraderie, will stay with me long after the internship.”

Throughout her time at Neuranics, Mariangel showed a strong ability to adapt quickly and communicate ideas clearly, whether in testing sessions, internal meetings, or day-to-day problem solving. She approached every challenge with curiosity and brought a great sense of focus to the tasks at hand.

Senior Clinical Engineer Negin, who supported Mariangel throughout her internship, reflected on her contribution: “Mariangel was an active learner during her internship in Neuranics. She engaged well with new tasks, supported ongoing experiments and analysis with reliability, and it was a pleasure to see her grow in both confidence and technical skill. It is always inspiring to see future engineers take on real-world challenges with emerging technology, and Mariangel’s curiosity for biosignals, thoughtful approach to problem solving, and collaborative mindset were truly appreciated by everyone on the team.”

The Neuranics team would like to thank Mariangel for her contributions this summer. It has been a pleasure having her with us, and we are excited to see where her journey takes her next.
